sound, the seed beds should be kept
weeded and shaded until the next season.

William Saunders, Director of the Gem
trai Experimental Farm, Ottawa, has issued
the first bulletin relating to the workings of
that establishment. Among many other
things of interest we find the, following
remarks regarding the treatment of forest
seeds:
The great importance of encouraging
and stimulating tree planting among the
farmers, especially in the northwest Prov
inces, is beyond dispute. 1t is felt also
that this can only be accomplished on the
scale of magnitude required by the plant
ing of suitable forest-tre9 seeds, which can
be gathered from the native trees growing
in the Provinces or purchased at small
cost. This leads us to add few words of
advice on the general treatment of forest
tree seeds.
Many of the tree seeds which mature
early are better sown soon after they are
gathered. This applies especially to the
several varieties OF elm and 10 The soft
maple. The hard maple, box elder, and
ash seeds keep we'll over winter, provided
they are stored in cool place and not
allowed to get too dry. Acofns, nuts, and
stone fruits are most successfully plan ted
in the autumn, but if kept over winter
should be mixed with moist sand and ex-
posed 70 frost aud planted rs early as pos-

Houses.

We are too wise to consult astrologers
nowadays, but should q glib politician,
who can talk for hours at Il stretch,
simply give us his word that certain
things will happen if we do not follow
q Daniel" and vote him into power to
save us from all kinds of terrible ca
lamities. The mere fact that he has
proved to be in the wrong over and
over again is nothing. "Words, not
deeds. is the motto OF the time, and a
jawbone is as powerful now as in the
days of Samson. But as this brings us
to the threshold of house we do not
care to enter, let us pass on quickly.
There are houses which have been
built upon the sterling qualities and
noble deeds of some brave, or wise, or
honest, persevering men, and have been
supported by their worthy successors
until we find them classed among the
noble houses of the land Not all great
houses, however, have such honest
foundations. Some have been founded
on fair lady's charms; some spring
from the successful cringing of willy
courtier; others from the supple voting
and artful maneuvreing of turn-coat
politician.
The royal houses of England, among
which we may surely class the Stuarts
as an unlucky house, have, in their
rising and falling, lifted and brought
| down many noble family, brought
many head to the scaffold, and caused
thousands of gallant men to shed their
blood upon the battlefield. The quar-
rels of the houses of York and Ian
caster filled the land with misery and
bloodshed, set father against son,
brother against brother, devastated the
land, lost our possessions in France,
and utterly destroyed many of the
ancient noble families That fatal
morning in the Temple Gardens, when
the roses were chosen as symbols OF
hatred instead of love, had far worse
results than Warwick feared when he
said the day
Shall send, between the red rose and tho white,
thousand souls to death and deadly night.

While good farmers have occasionally
made specialtiss of certain crops, and
found it profitable to cultivate them
largely under peculiar circumstances, the
best farming generally is connected with
alienation or rotation. Such course has
two decided advantages. One is the sup
preston of weeds. Each crop favors the
growth of some one or more weeds which
thrive under its peculiar treatment. Pas
lures and meadows, for instance, favor the
growth of such weeds MS thrive in the abb
sence of a pulverizcd soil. The ox-eye
daisy is one of several which. it once
started. gradually gains possession of an
undisturbed grass field. We sometimes
see the wild carrot with almost entire pos
session of permanent pasture. Corn
tavors The growth and increase of certain
annual weeds, which on the other hand
find little favor when The land is seeded.
The other advantage of rotation is that
continued change prevents the gradual ex-
haustion which succession of the same

loss. A tai1n ought 10 be fully stocked but

everyone knows what sheer folly it IS to
